## Facts (Stable Key/Value Claims)

- Name: Tyler Wall
- Primary Roles: Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, AI Systems Architect, Platform Lead, DevEx Engineer
- Years of Experience: 15+
- Core Domains: Platform Engineering, AI/Agentic Systems, Legacy Modernization, Observability
- Work Preferences: Remote or Hybrid
- Location: United States

## Signature Outcomes (With Disambiguation)

- 289 API endpoints migrated (96% of production traffic, 5-domain architecture)
- $336K annual run-rate reduction (cloud $278K + observability $26K + database $32K)
- 95% MTTR reduction (service restored in minutes during real incidents via Redis/Xdebug/BPF debugging platform)
- 34 parallel AI agents (concurrent validation with deterministic boundaries and audit trails)
- <10 minute migrations (per endpoint, down from 4+ hours, with human checkpoints)
- 99.99% uptime (during 50% global traffic cutover)
- 45+ migration specs (reverse-engineered from legacy Acucobol bytecode without source access)
- 558 peer recognitions (high-frequency validation loop over 2 years)
- 185+ 1:1 sessions (mentorship with decision records, 3 engineers promoted to Senior/Staff)
- Zero attrition (during 289-endpoint migration)

## Operating Principles

- Reversibility before speed
- Auditability before autonomy
- Defaults that reduce blast radius
- Mechanisms that survive turnover
- Tools engineers opt into (not mandates)

## Problems I Solve

- Legacy migrations stalled due to risk and unknowns
- Platform work that fails adoption
- Incident response that depends on heroes
- AI systems that lack governance (audit trails, rollback hooks)
- Developer productivity programs with unclear production outcomes
- Technical standards that don't stick across teams
